“Rational was for people who didn’t have a broken heart.”

“I’ll always be broken,” I went on. “Because when I came here, no one fixed me. It’s not that they didn’t care to fix me. These crazy, wonderful people I met at Craneville didn’t fix me because they didn’t think I needed to be fixed. And it wasn’t because they were ‘crazy’…it was because they were the only people who knew that I could only face the world out there again as someone different. As someone who wasn’t perfect, who wasn’t normal, who didn’t have all the answers…someone who was somehow ‘fixed’ by being broken.”

“It is impossible to communicate to people who have not experienced it the undefinable menace of total rationalism.”

“This world is full of broken things: broken hearts, broken promises, broken people,”

“People die of broken hearts. They have heart attacks. And it's the heart that hurts most when things go wrong and fall apart.”

“No rational argument will have a rational effect on a man who does not want to adopt a rational attitude.”
